~Chapter 8~

You slowly opened your eyes, feeling a pair of strong arms gently wrapped around you. It was somehow comforting. You looked up to see a sleeping form of Kyojuro. You couldn't help but smile.

Awe... he looks so adorable when he's sleeping...

Within seconds, your mind went blank as you realized he was sleeping on your bed and the position you were both in. A blank smile appeared on your face for two seconds before your face started to heat up, then you yelled when you fell off your bed, waking Kyojuro up.

"DEMON!" He yelled, half-awake, before noticing his surroundings, and your figure laying on the floor with a shook expression, "(Y/N)? Is everything alright?"

"Kyojuro," you gazed at the ceiling as you said, "We slept in the same fucking bed!" now Kyojuro's cheeks were dusted with a soft red.

"Well... it's not like we did anything!" Kyojuro said, "Besides, we are just two normal friends sharing the same bed! How bad can that be?!" Kyojuro smiled brightly, believing in his lie. You gave Kyojuro a flat look. Kyojuro noticed the way you were looking at him, making him chuckle nervously, "Ok... maybe I shouldn't have done that..."

"No no! It's alright!" You smiled awkwardly, "It was... sort of... comfortable...?" Kyojuro's eyes widened, his face turning to a blushing mess, "Of course, I don't mean that weirdly! Just... wake me up next time you find yourself in a situation like this."

"U-um... Of course!" Kyojuro yelled, helping you up, "Why don't you take a quick shower while I prepare breakfast for both of us! We've still got two hours before school starts." You nodded hesitantly, grabbing a towel from the drawer as you left for the bathroom.

Ok... maybe you had to take Senjuro's words to heart when he said Kyojuro wasn't the best cook... because that kid sure was not kidding.

You awkwardly looked at the plate of burnt pancakes in front of you, next to it was Kyojuro with a hopeful smile.

"Well... are you going to try it?!" Kyojuro asked. You took a deep breath as you tried to cut a piece from the pancakes, which almost felt impossible. Your arm shaking, brought the fork towards your mouth, eating the piece of pancakes. You almost felt like you were gonna be sick.

He has mistaken the sugar for the salt, hasn't he...

"So..." Kyojuro started, more hope was visible in his eyes, "how is it?!" You couldn't even swallow it.

"Y-yum! Those sure are some g-good pancakes!" You lied, your mouth full of whatever abomination Kyojuro has just created, "Just keeping it in my mouth because of how great it t-tastes!"

You couldn't handle the taste anymore. You quickly got up, making the chair fall over to the side, as you sped off to the bathroom. Kyojuro stood there, confused as he stared at the pancakes he made.

"Are they that bad..." he questioned himself, taking a bite as he choked, chugging down a glass of water, "What did I just feed the poor girl..." Kyojuro said with a painful smile, vowing to never cook again. Kyojuro wore a confused expression when a heard his phone ring from a distance. Grabbing it as he took a look, his eyes darkened.

You groaned, walking to the kitchen to grab a glass of water since the horrible taste of the pancakes was still there. I'm sorry Kyojuro... I just couldn't keep the act up...

You froze in your spot when you saw Kyojuro wearing a dark look as he held his phone. You gave your friend a worried glance, walking towards him as you gently put your hand on his shoulder, snapping him out of his thoughts. "Is everything alright, Kyojuro?" Kyojuro wore a smile on his face, only this one, for some reason, seemed so... fake.

"Everything's alright, (Y/N)!" He said, patting your head as he slid his phone into his back pocket, walking towards the door, "There's something I need to take care of. You think you're ok with walking to school alone?" You hesitantly nodded your head, still confused. Something was very off about Kyojuro, yet you couldn't quite get why.

"I guess so... it is day, after all, so I doubt it would be dangerous..." You looked up, meeting his eyes, "But... where are you going? Is everything ok?" Kyojuro nodded quickly, taking his coat off the hanger behind the door.

"There is something I must do right now, but I doubt I can make it to school by then," He then walked towards you, "You think you can cover for me? Just for today. You don't have to teach the students anything. Just keep and eye on them." You swallowed your saliva, nodding slowly with a small hesitant smile.

"Yeah, I'll take care of it, you can trust me." You said, "Just... for whatever you're doing, take care. And good luck." Kyojuro smiled softly, almost kneeling in for a kiss you before stopping himself. He shook himself out of the thought as he walked back to the door, bidding you goodbye as he shut the door.

You stood there, confused about what was wrong with your fiery-haired friend. He seemed to be in a hurry, and maybe a little angry as well. You shook your head slowly, hoping everything was ok with him as you walked to your room, changing your clothes for another tiring day at Kimetsu Academy, only this time you would have to fill in for Kyojuro. You never were a fan of younger kids, unless it was someone like Senjuro. Or Tanjiro, an older friend of Senjuro's. Tanjiro was such a kind kid with the purest soul of all. If you could, you would've adopted him, along with his sister Nezuko. Nezuko was such a quiet girl, always chewing a bread in her mouth for some reason, though you thought it was adorable.

Then there were Zenitsu and Inosuke.

Not that you hated them, they were just a teeny tiny bit... annoying and noisy.

Zenitsu cried a lot over the most stupid things, and Inosuke wasn't helping with his situation. Inosuke would chase him down the halls, yelling at him and telling him to challenge him, while Zenitsu just cried for his grandpa to save him. Inosuke also had a serious issue with the dress code. The poor boy could never button up his shirt, leaving his whole torso exposed. Once, he even came to school wearing a boar's mask, but the teachers had it taken away as soon as he stepped foot into the school. Kyojuro has started calling him 'Young Boar' ever since that day, and you had no idea whether Inosuke liked it or not.

You sighed as you grabbed your coat and headed for the door.

This sure would be a long day...
